      Pros

      Awesome VP of ops. She came from the line and worked hard to be up the ranks. Older management were all awesome but once Philips integrated their managers and beliefs into volcano people it wasn’t great. It was such an awesome place to work for before the political stuff came on board.

      Cons

      Orig workers were all great people to work with but when Philips mentality came in, they bulldoze the talents out of that building to build in Costa Rica, which had some major re-calls which when we built in the US, there were never a recall.

      Thank you for taking the time to tell us about the 10+ years you've worked for our company as Manufacturing Supervisor. It's regrettable that changes were made within your department that you didn't think were for the better. Our management is active here on Glassdoor as well, so your feedback definitely won't go unnoticed. Take care, and all the best in your professional career!

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
